Premium Member small exorcisms

When your heart 
corresponds 
with your mind,
then, give it a shot,
you write 
back to me

what expressions 
you so badly 
need 
to bleed;

the characterisation 
of letters 
are alphabet soup 
to me, child's play,
peeling tattoos 
like bells ringing 
over a tongue 
not speaking,

I swallow words
hungrily 

then I spit them out,
bullets that pierce
a page, 
bulls eyes
staring back 
through the black holes, 
the other silent horns, 
all silently complicit 

small missions 
of truth 
cornucopias,
wearing through 
the thin fabric 
of ludicrous 
fantasy

feathers that fall 
from soft pillows
quaking against 
levees breaking
the barriers hitting marks 
the sands of time broken,
river banks splitting, 

the bodies drowned
and sucked up
like works of art
in a hyped up 
Hieronymus Bosch,
if you are in deep
you can make sense 
of it all, 

you know you're in it, 
that picture, way, way
up to your eyeballs

brushing against 
all the others, removed, 
flotsam and jetsam 
in the wash, sensing 
the path they all took,
but the mystery 
of never quite knowing, 
like a smell, pervades

charcoal tears 
melt all the ways
a heart can be kicked
down and gutted 
witnessed through 
gilt edged windows
full and jaded

to a gate opening,
the sound cracking 
like a mouth 
terraforming 

dustied and green 
the shaman soul 
found underneath 
it all, humourously
rustling sage over 
the external, 
a serious novice 
for burning 

small 
exorcisms

smoking out
renegades, those
stubborn seeds planted 
in long spent sentences,
those true romantics,
the forgotten ill-bred,
well-tilled, rebel poets

small 
exorcisms

for burning

Premium Member How Fast Is That

My love 
     for you
          happened 
like
     a photon
          strike,
ejecting 
     electrons 
          of desire
into my
     beating 
          heart,
flooding
     veins
          with fire.

Zepto-
     second*~
          a sliver
of time
     faster than 
          the blink
of my
     eye**;
          as power-
full as
     Cupid's
          arrow 
hitting
     its mark
          invisibly.


*The zeptosecond is a unit of time equal to 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001 seconds, that is, 10?²¹ seconds. It's the smallest sliver of time yet measured and corresponds to the amount of time it takes for the electron to be ejected after the photon strike.

**On average the human blink lasts only a tenth of a second which is 100 milliseconds.

Life According To a Debater: a Policy Case Found Poem

The 1AC is a shot in the dark. 
When we use interrogative strategies
we create zones of visibility and possibility.
The potentiality for deliberation
towards a new politic.
 
The study of bare life signals
radical transformations;
The constitutive ambiguity of theory
is never clear-- is always double
Thinking of thinking; 
A reflection that interrogates
the link between life and politics.

The relation between power
is complicated to consider.
The most authentic paradigm:
Sovereignty corresponds to ability
And ability not to be: a state of exception.

An act is sovereign when it realizes itself. 
Bodies are made intelligible 
through visibility and value. 
When these components 
are removed, what is left?
 
Operating in the shadows, 
the truth often stays hidden
Fights break out like
“walking on minefields.”
Silently governed interests
implement policy which
silently neglect populations
further into the margins.

The bodies of the victims 
emphasize this state of
exception making it more difficult 
to identify, articulate and critique.
There are rare but significant attempts
to conceive the indistinguishably 
between law and life.

Debate helps curtail individual power: 
to shape behaviors and attitudes,
to be made visible and speak to the 
systemic character of American injustice.
The possibility to fill the void
and mitigate impact of fighting.

Education can have a 
dramatic impact. Mental 
stimulation and meaningful 
human interaction cause 
social connection,
Zones of indistinction
regain the meaning they lost.

The key is to create alternative 
conceptualizations of self 
in relationship to others.
With broad political and social 
movements standing behind,
uniting the call on the part of
democratic transformations. 
Any radical change will be 
more than cosmetic.

Young people now carry the banner
of struggle. Of democratic life. 
A variety of discourses developed 
to avert stemming the flow--
reverting to secrets we do not know.

Claiming that debaters can “solve”
by repeatedly rejecting and interrogating 
the tradition is a key strategy in creating 
new modes of being the secret to every exception.

How it unfolds remains to be seen.

Roar of a Lioness

I do not have a perfect life
Blue, brown, yellow, black...
Orange and silver, civilize my emotions
Correspond to justify my ambiguity
Like a swarm of bees, protecting its hive
I have succumbed to my delicacy
It magnifies my efficacy
The roar of a lioness.

Lay to rest the troubles of thy self
Unfold the folded and iron the crumbled
Take a closer look in the mirror
Take a closer view in the puddle
Yes, the mystery is muddled up
You dread to look at your own soul
But nothing is much more stabbing
Like the hearts sore.

Different views, different tastes
She is not you, You are you
You wish for clarity, but
Charity you never tried
Purity was never your choice
I smell darkness
The roar corresponds to the howling howls of the night.

Sleep my emotions sleep
The night is still young,
So are you?

It was never promised to no man but,
Tomorrow is another hectic day
Pathetic is no fit to define
Lock the voice-box, sustain the roar
Sleep well my love,
Sleep well.

Symbolic Love By:2017 Kevinguru

Who may rise?
Who may fall?
If Love is power unto itself,
It therefore must be
A force that binds
Builds, and 
Answers every begging 
Question of the Soul.

Of men
It beckons the heart
To yearn for the unknown
Knocking at every door
To see the unseen
Seeking metaphysical
Truth
The One formula
To every equation
Equaliser of Life.

If we descend into the depths
It is there to lift
And make anew
When she calls to
Thee 
Will we therefore
Rise to heights
Never before revealed.

Must we limit her heights
With weights that 
Atlas can no longer hold
Shall we then tenfold
make her known 
In a world of jarred
Hatred?

She is more than lustful I's
have ever seen in a
Material world that works
To undo our solidarity
Within Creation's Hands
Her natural ability to
be a beacon of light
within the gloomy
corridors of cloudy minds

More than pivotal positions
Of politics
She corresponds to
Pythagorean mystical
math
The Order of One
Right Angles
The knowledge of Angels is
Algebra
Dare we solve the unknown,
Our Destiny
A testing of Will
To Rise above circumstance?

Who may rise?
Who may fall?
We've all been summoned
To her feet
Given the power to walk upon
Waters with the 
Sands of time beneath our feet
How dare we fall for not
Answering Her Call?

The Armour 
Faith
Hope
Love
A chord not easily Broken
No world weapon shall prosper
Embrace her and be
Solely free to
Experience God
The very Heartbeat of Life
Rise Royally all in her Name
A Love Supreme.

September Daze Haint Sapphire Away

Already the month
     of August 2018,
     May never become

     (Forget-me-not)
     time of year,
especially for nouveau

     penniless residents,
     (now more like worrier),
     who reside in the

     Golden State where,
towering uncontrollable
     wild fire infernos veer

     physical, and spiritual

     which tragedy didst seer

     particulate matter,
     though concerned former
     propertied owners

     as utter grief doth rear
a scorched (bumping) ugly head,
     yet the onset of Autumn,

Bark At the Moon

Bark at the Moon


They tell me that I’m in here cos I, not very well,
If the medicine is working ,don’t think I can tell,
I hope I aint here long, cos I don’t think it’s fair ,
So I sit on my bed and pull out my hair ,
Talk to strange people that are not really there ,
My wife keeps on phoning and says are you coming home soon,
And I say to be honest ,I think I’ll just stay here, 
And bark at the Moon
The walls in my room are exceptionally white, 
And the light in my room is exceptionally bright,
Sometimes I panic and start to self-harm ,
But the Doctors soon cure that with a shot in the arm,
My neighbors are noisy and make such a racket ,
But I can’t bang on the walls because of my jacket,
I begged for the doctor to let me out soon ,
But he just laughed and said bark at the Moon,
 
My wife doesn’t come now ,she corresponds by post ,
don’t get many letters one a month at most 
Its gone on for so long now don’t think I can cope ,
So I managed to get me a nice piece of rope ,
The doctor came in and saw me hanging down ,
Then turned to the nurse with an irritated frown ,
Best get a knife and cut him down soon ,
But I wish I could leave him to bark at the moon…

Beyond

my destiny stems far and beyond

born with the spiritual

no need for a magic wand

within, ancient wisdom corresponds

people unintentionally fear the black swan

I’m a freedom fighter better than Flynn from the movie Tron

the force in me is strong, as I skywalk with Han

ideas constantly, sprouting like spawns

in my dreams I own a fast-pitch ball golden glove like Barry Bonds

driving eclectic rides and carry gadgets, 007 call me the female James Bond

taking down cruel empires more strategic than Ghenghis Khan

form a strong squad like the lions of Voltron

at times I begin to feel lost and withdrawn

it’s difficult trying to save a world,

when most of people don’t know they are pawns

I feel for them just as much as Chaka Khan

my hope remains alive from dusk til dawn

Imagination

I can almost feel the molecules that make up the pink clouds. 
A bright, yet subtle hanger that's seems so close, but is so far away. 
Like the settling of a tree where it's seed was planted the roots search for life far below the surface.
The wind brushes against each leaf and in unison I can hear the angels whisper.
The setting of the sun and it's last glare kisses the edges of the clouds illuminating the sky partially before night sets in.
The ruler of the stars drifting off to deliver light to another part of the world and making way for the smaller stars to be present.
The moon light on crashing waves with a cool breeze brings me closer to each ball of gas for star gazing.
The sand is cool and the smell of the ocean reminds me of my existence in this universe.
Far beyond the horizon my soul lingers to look over the edge. 
The mountain tops are so small in the distance I trace over their silhouette with my fingertips, imagining how crisp and the thin the air maybe.
I look down into the valley below watching how every intricate detail is aligned and corresponds with one an other.
I can hear the birds traveling together, the animals rustling in the wilderness and the worms deep below the blades of grass.
And that is when I can almost feel the molecules that make up the pink clouds.

Voice From My Heart

I can walk, talk,
Think and breath, 
I can try, cry,
understand and comprehend.

My past is a video,
My present is a concern,
My future is a vision,
My voice is volume less.

I have friends, some with dreads,
Together we have been,
Together we will learn to be,
Though some we have thrown in the bins.

Some come and go,
Others remain,
Some remain as statues,
Others remain as ladders.

I am the definition of poverty,
The symbol of struggle,
I am the parable of the hunter in reality,
The spear of the great jungle.

My heart posses nothing, but peace,
My mind corresponds nothing but reality,
My exsistance is a threat for some,
My presence is a blessing for others.

I sweat for my stomach,
"I wish I was a soldier",
Sometime I imagine,
Perhaps I could stand much more stronger.

There is no more war,
Yet I am attacked,
All I ask is to prolong my life,
All I seek is harmony.

Apologies for any hurts,
Together we can cross beyong imagining,
This is the voice from my heart,
The melody of my tongue, 
The suspension of my moods,
The hidden part of my True " I".

Premium Member What Is Divine Energy

“Ceasing thinking, begin feeling ~
Rapture of bliss beats appealing”
- quote by poet


Let us today discuss divine energy
Innate, immediate and intimate
Needless confusion abounds
So let us get facts straight

Made in image of God
Our true essence is living light
Thus, we merely ensoul this body
To grow in love and garner clear sight

Reworded, this decaying form is but dust
Body is made alive by breath of God
We are as He but yet know not
Direct knowing has us awed

Breath of God is Holy Spirit
It is also called Kundalini and Chi
Labels matter not, It is Divine Mother
When ego dies, who we are we then see

With the above preamble we may begin
To comprehend what this energy is
In short, it represents our Self
Love and light and bliss

We are here, so God too is 
He dwells in the cave of our heart 
If heart be pure and we seek God alone
We will vividly feel within, bliss ignition start

We have in us, male and female polarities
Energy in potential and energy kinetic
Potential is vast space all around 
Kinetic is movement ecstatic 

Divine energy is kinetic
It is everything that moves
Within body too, kundalini pulsates 
Moving though enigmatic energy grooves 

We have within us several energy vortexes
Each node corresponds to a vibration 
Liken it to the colours of a rainbow
Refraction causing creation 

Divine Mother is at root of spine
Our Father is said to be at the crown
Mother ascends, entwining at the fontanel
Both descend to heart, meld and in bliss drown

This depiction is real and certainly not symbolic
Simply stated, it represents death of ego
Desires renounced, we live internally 
imbibing bliss in stillness slow

Bliss fixates our attention
In time, our eye becomes single 
Compassion grows, we see all as one
As by day and night amplifies the bliss tingle 

Back to the start, when we see clearly who we are
Which is, as we said before, eternal living light
We continue earth life but are now awake
With both clear sight and bliss delight

Fundamental Frame

https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/fundamental-frame

The absence of which, who could withstand?
The evolution thereof corresponds with us
Expansion likewise
Enabler of movement, our fundamental support
Protection for such living things
Joints and muscles – we limber on
Muscle contract, muscle relax
A framework within
Exoskeleton outside
So ribs protect – heart and lung surround
Skull protect – shield the brain
Where two or more join, so joints comprise
A fundamental function
A vital role to play
Solid and strong, yet spongy within
Inner bone marrow – tissue living
Small bones of the inner ear
Larger bones increasing gear
Leg bone, arm bone, rendered to walk alone
High bone, thigh bone, ever so required bone

A Prayer Is Like a Song Request

*A PRAYER IS LIKE A SONG REQUEST* 

A prayer is like a song request
You love the melody it brings
Each... note... aligned... along... the... page
Corresponds with a masterpiece
Our prayers are very much the same
In that when we pray them 
They create a most beautiful arrangement before the throne of our King

So I challenge you this day to SING!!!
SING TO JESUS WITH YOUR PRAYERS!!!
SING TO JESUS WITH MUSICAL NOTES THAT ARE ONLY SUNG FROM
YOUR HEART TO HIS!!!

SING!... SING!... SING!...

Premium Member Discard Beliefs

Come the dawn, the rising sun
Unapologetic, offers no introduction
Source of life, same for one and all
Cares not what is our religion

The gently flowing, wafting breeze
Soothes by touch, in embrace and release
Enlivening all sentient beings on this planet
Blessings of Mother Earth never cease

Heartbeats each moment repeat
Maintaining optimal body heat
Pulse of aliveness, judges not our belief
Love entwined with love makes us feel complete 

Oh weary hermit, label not God
Religious fundamentalism is narrow and flawed
Each soul is an aspect of His essence
Our ego identity is but a facade

Love alone is real, know this
Sans desire, our emptiness radiates bliss
All that is, is God consciousness alone
Feel on the fontanel, His loving kiss

17-June-2022

Notes: Fontanel corresponds to the crown chakra (Sahasrara)

Premium Member I'M a Whosoever

He answers prayers, still responds
Never leaving the heart in fear
A breath away, He corresponds
With those who know He’s always near

Our words, though they’re words without form
Offer Him faith, sincerest praise
He sees our hearts through every storm
Bringing a grace that will amaze

He sings joy through our hearts and souls
Reflects the promise in His word
Reminds it’s love that He controls
Peace delights the heart He has stirred

Breathless worship sighs from our hearts
Knowing Him whose living within
Hushing the dark, His love imparts
Insight where His kindness has been

He smiles as we fall to our knees
Offering our hearts through prayers
His love answers our needs, our pleas
Gently, He wipes away our tears

I’ll never know love more perfect
Grace more pure, worthy of respect
His love prepares hearts to expect
Joy past what the world can reflect

He is my hope of forever
Thanks to God’s grace, I know Jesus,
And, He knows me, a whosover –
Who believes in Him who frees us!
